Only shortstop Heinle Sand of last year's Infield, wilt start as a regular. Walter Kimmlck. with the Vernon. club of the Pacific Const league last year will bent second; Nelson Haw ken, formerly of Memphis, will hold down first; while Huber, a Texas' league produce, 'will make his dehut at third. "I believe I have n better tnam than 1 had last year," said Fletcher today. "The infield Is much improv ed. It is much faster than last year's and is surer on defensive plays. I am putting In three new men. Sand alone of last year's infield will start In my regular lineup on opening day. "Oeorge Iturns, the veteran who came to us from Cincinnati, will sure ly start as one of my regular outfield ers. '1 will switch old Cy Williams from center to right field and place Harper, a ball hawk who led the league lust year aa a fielder, in center. Thus I will have Mo loan and Schultze for utility use. We have a fighting chance to get something this year." Ml QUITS LE NAME MREwOF . STATE AMD A 0 SENATE CONFIRMS GERMAN ENVOY WASHINGTON, March 18.
